Cid, Leon wants to know if you have the copy of the new program. It's needed down at the computer lab.

[Aerith walks in with an armful of fresh flowers, stopping when she sees this isn't exactly Radiant Garden.]

Funny... I know I entered the right door.

[Was walking by, munching on an apple, when he noticed her.]

Lost?

[23smallwishes.livejournal.com]

[Watch as her head tilts, ever so slowly in his direction. He's. Vaguely familiar.]

You could say that.

[didibecomeahero.livejournal.com]

[He wouldn't be surprised if she hadn't recognized him. He's used to that by now. So he'll just act normal.]

Not uncommon in this place. I'd say you just got here, right?

[23smallwishes.livejournal.com]

[Yes, well, can you blame her? She was eleven the last time they talked. Still, this seems really familiar.]

How observant of you. Kind enough to tell me where I am, then?

[didibecomeahero.livejournal.com]

Sort of a world between worlds. Just pulls people in without warning.

[23smallwishes.livejournal.com]

[A beat.]

Like Traverse Town? Nothing happened to Radiant Garden all over again, did it?

[didibecomeahero.livejournal.com]

Not as far as I know. Though, I haven't seen Radiant Garden in years. But from what I've heard it's seems fine.

[23smallwishes.livejournal.com]

[Scrutinizing him now.]

Oh, you've been there?

[didibecomeahero.livejournal.com]

I was born there, Aerith.

[That smile is both amused and slightly sad.]

[That's...]

[... there's something...]

[23smallwishes.livejournal.com]

... Zack?

[didibecomeahero.livejournal.com]

[There's a bit of a surprised look, before he grins.]

So you do remember!

[23smallwishes.livejournal.com]

It's been twelve years, of course I wouldn't remember much.

You... you never came home.

[didibecomeahero.livejournal.com]

[....Awkward head scratch.]

Uh...Yeah. I know.

Sorry.

[23smallwishes.livejournal.com]

Cloud even went to look for you eventually.

[didibecomeahero.livejournal.com]

[...Just, nods. He doesn't really know what to say. Sorry for not coming home, I got killed by my hero and couldn't make it? Somehow he doesn't think that would end well.]

...

[23smallwishes.livejournal.com]

[Sephiroth's gone horribly wrong, yes, but at least I'm not dead. Yet.]

... where did you go all this time?

[didibecomeahero.livejournal.com]

[WHAT.

Uh...Come on. Excuse, excuse. You're supposed to be good at these!]

Uh...This place? I've, been here a long time.

[...Not a complete lie, at least?]

[23smallwishes.livejournal.com]

... all twelve years?

[didibecomeahero.livejournal.com]

...Yes?

[Obviously lying. He just cant lie to Aerith. He's never been able to. He can lie to other people. But not her. :<]

[23smallwishes.livejournal.com]

[THIS LOOK, ZACK--]

[didibecomeahero.livejournal.com]

[Asjfkd-Mental flail!]

Uh, I mean, I spent a few years training, and then got brought here?

[So far anytime he tells someone that he died, that person gets upset. He just doesn't want to upset Aerith.]
